Gillian McIver

Founder, President

Gillian McIver is the founder of Reign Wellness, a brand committed to delivering high-quality, sustainable, effective menstrual products that embody a meaningful Purpose. She grew up in small-town Ontario, Canada with an amazing and supportive family. She competed internationally in freestyle skiing until the age of 19 and she credits high-level athletics for teaching her the value of commitment, determination, and learning from mistakes—skills that she has found are essential in entrepreneurship.

In 2020, while pursuing her MBA, Gillian found her health and well-being sidelined during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. In October of that year, she began what she calls a “full body and mind reset”, prioritizing her health and reassessing her daily consumption, from food to personal care products. This led her to take a critical look at the period products she was using monthly, and down a path of research which gave way to Reign Wellness.

Gillian holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of British Columbia and a MBA from Ivey Business School. She currently resides outside of Toronto and enjoys being outdoors to hike, bike, and run.
